Companies that go out of their way to make families comfortable, even if their products or services are not necessarily geared toward children.
Burlington Mall, 75 Middlesex Turnpike, Burlington, MA. In November 2008, the mall finally opened a Children's Play Area by the Food Court. It's enclosed by bench seats with only one exit---in case you have escape artists---so parents can get comfy while watching their preschoolers play.
Frank Webb's Bath Center, 160 Middlesex Turnpike, Bedford, MA. Looking for kitchen and bathroom fixtures, plumbing, vanities, or fireplace mantles? It's so much easier at this showroom, with beanbag chairs, books, toys, cable TV, and even video games for kids.
Jordan's Furniture, 50 Walker’s Brook Drive, Reading, MA. Not all shopping trips can be considered an adventure. At Jordan's Furniture in Reading, you'll find Beantown, a city made out of jelly beans including Fenway’s Green Monster and the Lenny Zakim Bridge. You'll also find an indoor Trapeze School, Beantown’s Liquid Fireworks Show, and a 500-seat Comcast IMAX 3D Theater.
Shaw's Supermarket, 180A Cambridge St., Burlington, MA. Bunches of Fun Play Area is a free, supervised play area with books, games, crafts, and movies. Security measures include wristband identification and video monitoring, as well as use of beepers, should your child need your attention.
Trader Joe's, 51 Middlesex Turnpike, Burlington, MA. Maybe it's the balloons, the good food, or the Hawaiian shirts that make Trader Joe's a unique grocery store. Whatever, it's a family favorite.
